The name is apt because this is a glorious trainwreck. You'll care deeply about the flawed characters, and it will keep you guessing until the end.

It was such an interesting concept, but I didn't enjoy the execution or the characters. Also hate when the main character is an alcoholic and it's basically their entire personality and has such a huge impact on the plot. 
Enjoyed the narration. Listened at 2x to start and gradually increased to 2.75x as I adjusted to their accents.

Great book! Definitely a page turner. If you get confused by different narrators then I’d definitely recommend the audiobook.

The way I despise most of the characters. But especially Anna and Tom. I feel for Rachel, she's in need of help, I hope she finds it. But goodness gracious this is a toxic band of people 😂.

 Definitely was a page turner. I read it in a few hours. Would read again.

A really good thriller that had me trying to piece information together right from the very beginning. It was so fun to read a book with such unreliable narrators, because it allowed you to come up with so many different theories. Ultimately, everything tied up really well and I found the plotline and reveals made a lot of sense.
